When you are thinking ahead or making big plan for the future, it does not imply that you are day dreaming. It is your capacity or ability to see beyond the present and to achieve a better tomorrow, unfortunately, the youths of today lack ability to handle future we need to have the big picture and strive to make things a reality. Let me take succor in Samuel Clement (Mark Twain) in which he said that “The secret of getting ahead is getting started”. It illustrates that the only way you can move ahead is to make some bold steps of starting. Take for example if you want to be the president of the country, you may must take some certain steps of life in which is gradual which led me for an adage which says “ a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step”.
Dear readers, if you want to start thinking ahead beyond what you can see, you must start with a step. Think about what you can do in your own little would to make thing better. Don’t forget to make your own little positive contribution to society, remembering an adage that says that “Tiny droplets of water make a mighty ocean”. Something considered insignificant can change the course of the world as you could be vital intricate to change the country and make it a better place to live.
Thus, taking succor from Chunakya is says “Before you start some works, always ask yourself three questions – why am I doing it, what result it might be and will it be successful? only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead!” What this is telling us is that before you start taking a bold step toward your future, you must ask yourself, the questions above, unless, you might be doing or thinking to the wrong direction which may lead to something else. So you must ask yourself thing questions. Why am I doing it, what the result it might be, Will I be successful when asked and answered satisfactorily, then you can go ahead.
However, the great indomitable has won fifty-six fights out of sixty one fights within the rings, o Mohammed Ali of blessed memory says “It isn’t to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe’ and he was the one who said “He who is not courageous enough to take risk will accomplish nothing in life” So we must be courageous and brave in thinking ahead. No one can see the future yet we all must make success about it in order to make decisions and better prepared for what comes our way, the guesses that we make aren’t based on seeing the future but in our knowledge and past experiences with a little bit of insight mixed.
In addition, there is no future in the past experiences you are likely to make some mistakes if you base your future in the past because the past is always going to be the way it was, stop trying to change it. Your future contains more happiness than any past you remember. Believe that the best is yet to come you can’t have a better tomorrow, if you are thinking about yesterday all the time , your past does not equate with your future.
In conclusion, you must re-sit yourself down and think ahead of making big plans for your future. Believe in your ability, unless you stand up and do something, you cannot know the extent of your abilities. So, think ahead today, I promise you that, the sky is just your beginning
Happy Resumption Great Ife!
